Bart (1214), Vosselaar, Belgium Apr 18, 2006 Light hazy amber coloured, average white head. Some sweet yeasty aroma, little fruity. Medium body, finish is little sweet-bitter. An average beer. Hildigöltur (5051), København Ø, Denmark Dec 20, 2005 Bottled. Hazy amber coloured. Very yeasty aroma and flavour with some very unpleasant notes of rotten nuts. Thin and undrinkable. TBone (4841), Pori, Finland Aug 30, 2005 Bottled (BB 07/2005)
Clear amber color, tight white head, some lace. Nose has toffee, smoked ham (!) and grassy hops. Malty with light toffee sweetness, rye, smoke, finishing to bitterish hops. Unbalanced and not very enjoyable. sayravai (3029), Helsinki, Finland Aug 18, 2005 (Bottled) Clear amber color with a small, vanishing, lacy head. Sweetish-caramely, fruity and slightly yeasty aroma with acidic and sour hints. Sweet-malty, somewhat fruity and hoppy, slightly acidic, bitter and sour flavor with rye and toffee hints. Medium-bodied, bitter and acidic palate with moderate carbonation. I’m pretty sure this is Tongerlo 6 Blonde, since it felt familiar from the first sniff. A slightly below-average blond, but drinkable. Papsoe (9774), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 15, 2005 Updated: Jul 2, 2005(Bottle 33 cl) Actually more amber than blond, what I usually refer to as fully golden. Filtered with a HUGE head that never flattens - quite impressive. Typical Belgian yeasty notes, otherwise fruity with some nutty notes. Fresh with some bitterness in the palate. "Celestus" is a brand for a Belgian supermarket-chain (have forgotten which) and I wonder if this is just a Tongerlo 6 Blond in disguise? 050305
